Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".

居然能有所突破！有不少让子弹飞的讽刺情节。Peacemaker, what a joke. 推荐油管上Second Thought频道里的"The US Doesn't Meddle In Foreign Affairs"。https://youtu.be/mwyjlmEAcYM
挺好的片，DC最好的电影之一，可惜走的是漫威的插科打诨路线，跟死侍差不多的味道，不过毕竟是个好片，是好片就行了。
一面拿类型作诱饵，一面又高傲地与类型割席。不见方法，只见立场，属于被艺术殿堂的鄙视链框住了。
不应该如实的死去吗
跟以往DC的电影不同，毕竟换了导演风格也有点像漫威。
完成度非常高的电影。剧情和拍摄手法都很像是加长版本的黑镜。Ali演技真的太好了。从电影中段我一直不能自控的和他共鸣，眼泪一直流。
要说能克隆，还能编辑基因去掉致病基因而不能治疗现有病症，我是不信的。好吧，讨论的不是技术层面。然而克隆了这一次也不是不老不死。克隆的出发点是规避痛苦，但可以躲掉这次的痛苦，还能躲掉以后的悲痛么？说不定克隆人第二天就被车撞了呢？所以如果是我的话是不会选择克隆自己的
优美又忧伤。以后大半夜不能看这种催泪的片子。
月光男孩，绿皮书，天鹅挽歌。。。一路看来，这部塑造的角色不如前面两部那么深刻动人，但还是看到了马赫沙拉阿里深邃丰富的内里。。
另一种诠释死亡的视角，但生命和精神的延续到底应该沿用那种方式？不是人能控制的，尊崇自然法则吧。片尾如果博士的新顾客是女主那意义或许提升两个档次。
后面表达有些泛滥，导致节奏拖，有点掉鸡皮疙瘩。视听和表演都超一流，就这么几个人这么几个景，搞了一出临终关怀好戏
”I love you,cam.Always have,always will."是jake眼里的画中画 是poppy对cam最后的告白 亦是最后的告别 最后跟儿子喝苹果汁吃毛豆那里感动 全家只有狗狗pig认出了不是主人 又是一部看了一眼就知道会喜欢的电影 让我想起《HER》 配乐无比好听 画面构图色调配乐都恰好 建筑设计 装修氛围也很喜欢 即便到了科技更加发达的2040年 即便能克隆一个自己 也还是无法治愈那些疾病 真实却又存在遗憾 2040年好像离我们并不远了 是感觉会再看第二次的电影 是十佳了 PS.男主的穿搭很有质感 还有各色的帽子也想拥有同款
There is as much heart as heartlessness in this
克隆人、面对死亡、身份困惑，都是老生常谈，不过这片好在放弃讲道理，把重点放在描述情绪，很感性，大量面部特写，配合音乐营造氛围，很适合在夜深人静时体会，一个人临终前回忆了自己所有难以言说的情感，看着另一个“自己”鸩占鹊巢，对家人的无私和嫉妒的自私交织，他的符号继续存在于社会，作为一个个体却被遗忘，这可能就是死亡的真相，不管留在身后的是什么都不是真实的“我”。
影片的演绎都是关于告别，同自己、同爱人，这份费心铺垫，残忍又何其幸运，现实里太多人都没有个像样的告别。影片启止纯粹如一，结局深情而伤感，只要自己爱的人幸福就好，无论最后陪伴她的人是谁。大爱如此，似傻如痴，可也正展现了人类拥有真挚感情的美好。
好吧，一个文艺科幻片，为了情替换自己@@没有太多剧情冲突，还不如月球的挣扎更抓人。好在大咖们演技都在线。
但火候问题没有起到强有力的沉浸按摩。
是不是一个梦
